    How to search my entire database

    It's been a long while since I've visited here. I'd like to do the following, and don't know where to start. I have looked in the sample re-usable code section, and it's possible something was looking me square in the face, but I didn't recognize what I needed. I need to: Search for a...

    I need to be able to count occurrences of certain fields

    Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to count the occurrences of one of 3 fields in a table, using a query. The table, though rather long, has only 3 fields. I'm using Access 2000, and one of the fields has an alpha value. That alpha value may occur many times. There is another field (numeric)...

    How to keep header on subsequent pages

    No, it's not working. It's actually making no difference. BUT, more precisely: The background image I have in my test is stable. It stays put as expected, and so do the few test fields that I've dropped in to the report. But it seems to make no difference on this other report which I'm...

    Hi, I have a report for this project, where I need to keep the header information perfectly in tact, should the details section be so excessive it needs to write more than one page. Critically, I have a background, which the user created. I've included that background, so it looks just like...

    How do I synchronize main form to pop up form ?

    Hi, I want to synchronize a main form to a pop up form. I have seen many examples of main form to subform, and subform to subform, but I don't think that provides enough for me to logically think out what's needed to synchronize my main form to my pop up form. Please help, Thanks, Jim

    Cannot add record(s); join key of table . . . .

    Sharon, Are you able to decipher that from the Select statement I provided? Because there are not duplicates allowed on any of the tables designated with a one-side primary key. Jim

    Hello, I am making some good progress with the help I've gotten here over several months of trying to put this project together. I now have a form based on a query which draws from 4 tables. I'm told that if I try this that I may not be able to update my tables. Sure enough, there is one table...

    Q. Searching for one field for "0"s and another for spaces

    Hi. I have created a query, which draws from several tables. One of these tables is a pop up form, where details are entered (the pop up form draws from a query also, not directly from a table, as I've been advised against). The results in the pop up form link to a subform (on which I have...

    Question on "next record". i don't know how to explain

    Hi, I don't know how to explain my question, so I couldnt even do a search for it. On a pop-up form I have, I am able to click the next record button, and it will NOT stop at the last record in the set of records for that given "many side" number. Instead, it creates a new, blank record, and...

    "You cannot add or change a record . . . . "

    Thank you for your response. But even though I've since changed the data base to another state which still doesn't work properly, it was never the case for any field in my "main form" to be related to any field in the sub form, except for "CustomerNumber". Even then the subform was getting the...

    Problem with launching form from subform

    Ghudson, Yes, I've visited this site before. Not only that, but I have downloaded the the Access Web 2000. I opened it and did some looking around, but don't remember getting help for what I needed at the time. I'll give it another, closer look. I want to ask you though, about my project, do...
